Much of my recent work is heavy on geometric explorations with an emphasis on symmetry. I'd like to think of the process involved is meditative, similar to the concept of Tibetan mandalas—but still embracing the randomness of gestural details that oil paint provides.

Latest inspiration

Those blots of Electrophoresis and pattern-focused contemporary architecture.

Landscapes are full of abstractions, so I lean on my photography during hikes to inspire my representational oil paintings and drawings.

My influences 

Throughout my endeavors in fine art, I've fluctuated from nonrepresentational to representational painting.

The fine art masters never cease to inspire me: Chiam Soutine, Vincent Van Gogh, Roberto Matta, Claude Monet, Richard Diebenkorn, Wayne Theibaud, Louise Nevelson, and many others. View my oil painting collection
